I took a deep breath today
Welcomed the cold air into my lungs
It's been a long while since I felt rain drops on my skin
Kept in the shadows, alone and quiet
Since I crossed the Grande
It's been a long while since I felt rain drops on my skin
I exhaled in relief today
The cold wet sand seals my soul like a bung
It's been a long while since I slept in peace
Bunk beds and florescent
Cold ICE oversees
It's been a long while since I slept in peace
I ride a Greyhound today
A bumpy thirty-six hours on this steel dun
It's been a long while since I've seen my kids
I hope they see me for me
Greys and all
It's been a long while since I've seen my kids
